ODETTA in Paris

[@1976DSCH]

I am so in love with her talent. I just learned about Odetta today.

[@Nynthlyfe9]

Lucky you. What a treat.

[@Bronco541]

me too! Can't believe in all my musical adventures she hasn't turned up until now... seriously underrated...

[@richardhornsby7007]

A musical wonder and woefully overlooked. Thank you for this joy

[@crystalgaynor9708]

I would not say overlooked, she was a BIG name in the folk genre, but not in the bebop or jazz mainstream genre. Joan Armatradin, Tracey Chapmen, and others credit her as a guiding force for their sound. What a beautiful, gifted talented guitarist and singer-songwriter. She was AMAZING! This is such a GREAT video presentation. Now, her story would be a GREAT MOVIE for SURE!!! I agree with you Mr. Hornsby, "Thank You for this JOY!!!" : )

[@garymorris9571]

That voice. That guitar. Words fail.

[@lisablack8892]

Her sound is a blessing from the sky.

[@jebilly2470]

Une très grande dame injustement oubliée au profit d'autres artistes un peu plus pâles. Merci pour nous l'avoir ressuscitée 👍

[@geebud1880]

My day is OK, having found this Lady & Voice !!

[@honeycombsound2470]

I had the honor of meeting Odetta at a benefit concert honoring Sister Rosetta Tharpe in Philadelphia. She really was a force of nature. So kind and gentle with an inner strength. She was a beloved person.

Fall instantly in love with Odetta the first i hear her sing more than 20 years ago

[@tenorak]

Odetta was everything all at once. I wonder if the audience knew they were listening to one of the greatest voices in this history of recorded music. And I wonder if they understood their complicity in the very systems of oppression she envoiced. P.s. that is one of the most beautiful and wrenching renditions of The Water is Wide I've ever heard (and Ive heard many).

[@PhosPhorosia]

What ? Are you serious ? the idiocy of your comment is a proof that netflix did a good job on the masses in rewriting the story... do you know who is Toussaint Louverture or Victor Schoelcher ? certainly not..don't know where you come from, but you really should open a book sometimes, - those massmedia transformed what is supposed to be Homo Sapiens into 'Homo Credens'.

[@tenorak]

@@PhosPhorosia Um sir, this is a Wendy’s.

[@PhosPhorosia]

@@tenorak is your culture anything else than 'filmesque' ? in France in 1960, when this concert took place, Odetta was certainly authorised to sit in the same compartment of the bus as the white people. The United States waited at least 4 years to accept this, and still...Rosa Parks received death threats for years after her revolt. Please don't make false accusations just to appear smart and concerned.

[@trippleh1521]

I cannot express how I feel right now.

[@marinacatanese1029]

! I saw her on TV, many years ago, but I thought she had an intere orchestra in her voice! A gift for us who can listen to her...

[@Wanderingdayo]

I got to see her on my birthday, at a free concert at Toronto Harbourfront. Around 2008?

[@peagreenboatpuppetco]

We love you Odetta

[@jessyeaviation9201]

Just lesson to this music at the beginning of the day and you will feel right all day long...

[@paulmurphy122]

Sweetness an light the vocal song on her own blew me away

[@witchmoon11]

Shivers. Thank you and Blessings everyone. 🌸🌙

[@alishademi4347]

straight from the depths of her soul

[@kapple654]

this woman is the voice of North America's soul in the same way Miriam makemba is the voice of Africa's soul. she is a whole nother level of ever female vocalist for last 100 yrs....... bob Dylan once famously said she was THE voice that made him DECIDE to do folk. a very christian woman too!

[@maitime8712]

YES. There is something just...essential...about her music. Her voice carries an entire history of people and culture in it. I found her music over 20 years ago, and it has been essential to my growth as a woman; I have leaned on her strength so many times in my life. Paired with the gentleness she also manages to imbue? She is simply magical.

[@kapple654]

@@maitime8712 agreed! so beautifully put!

[@kaumekaem6213]

Вы знаете...Больше, чем Африки...Я бы сказала женщин мира...Влюбилась в её голос задолго до того, как узнала кто она (её имя). Искала многие годы обладательницу волшебного голоса и когда нашла то слушала все её песни. Невероятная Одетта.

[@kapple654]

@@kaumekaem6213 agreed!

[@RebeccaLynnMusic]

I grew up listening to her.

[@anniegross183]

Awesome performance !!

[@mikemarthaller8789]

Respect She and a few others whose voices have The power of the human voice to move and motivate ibeyond just the words is underestimated or suppressed The gift of "The net" to share this is more powerful in our human journey than the much touted negatives of "The net," Peace and prosperity Through responsibilities

[@christianedechert4178]

SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL

Thank you very much! Wonderful! *Odetta - December 31, 1930 - December 2, 2008* - Shared on Google+ & Facebook, Dec 31, 2018

Simply fantastic!

[@gijsschubert7901]

I think the title is wrong, this shwo is NOT in Paris, but was recorded for the Belgium TV programme "Face au public" on 5 December 1964 - you can find several sources confirming this.

[@jacquesmarchal9899]

You are right. there is the S logo for Sonuma, the archiving and restoration company for French-speaking Belgian television programs.

[@09gayles]

can anyone tell me the name of the very first song? can't track it down!

[@tomherman2144]

It's called Bullgine Run. Judy Collins has also recorded it.

[@AntoineMaloney]

Raphael 'Les' Grinage is magnificent on bass here. Played with Odetta, but also with Bill Evans! Worth reading his Wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raphael_Grinage Manuel, are you a son or grandson? Wonderful to have this performance. I was in Hattie's Chicken Shack in Saratoga Springs with my family in the '90s when Odetta walked in. I was rooted to my chair as she stood at the counter asking for directions, and then left. But she was back within fifteen minutes and I had the wit to get up and approach her and thank her profoundly for her music.

[@AntoineMaloney]

It's worth a note that the second guitarist here is Peter Childs, I'll be the same Pete Childs who accompanied Fred Neil on "The Dolphins" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6PKZnZvmrqbkMU

[@christopherchilds4051]

@@AntoineMaloney Thank you for naming him, Antoine. That's my oldest surviving brother, who was one of Fred Neil's closest friends, and played on all three of his albums. He also played with Judy Collins, can be heard with Peter, Paul, and Mary on dobro in "Pack Up Your Sorrows", and was one of the folk trio "Knob Lick Upper Ten Thousand" in the mid-'60s... a group little-known to the general public (despite two albums from Capitol), but well-known within folk circles.
